Durfee School into Community Innovation Center

Goodman Acker, P.C., a leading
personal injury law firm in Southfield, Michigan is pleased to announce their partnership with
Life Remodeled to support upgrades to the historic Durfee School Building
in Detroit.

Life Remodeled, a non-profit organization, invests approximately $5 million
in cash, labor, and materials into one Detroit neighborhood each year.

Goodman Acker has joined forces with
Life Remodeled to support its 2018 project - renovating and repurposing the Durfee School
building into a Community Innovation Center. The Center will focus on
entrepreneurship, employment, education, and community.

In addition to a financial contribution, Goodman Acker will bolster their
support with participation in the Grand Opening event being held on April 27th and an office-wide volunteer day on May 18th.

Grand Opening Ceremony

The event will include an open house with games and tours for local students
and community residents. Goodman Acker will be at the grand opening giving
out items such as children’s coloring books, business card holders,
and more to those who attend.

Goodman Acker Volunteer Day

Goodman Acker will be holding an office-wide volunteer day. The entire
staff at Goodman Acker will be lending their hands to do on-site work
at the Community Innovation Center. Activities will include outdoor beautification
and gardening, painting, and organizing class room spaces.

“We are proud to partner with Life Remodeled to help transform the Durfee
School into a Community Innovation Center,” said Jordan Acker, Partner
at Goodman Acker and Director of Business Development. “Durfee School
means a lot to my family – my grandfather graduated from there,
and my grandmother graduated from Center High School next door. Revitalizing
the neighborhood with a building that builds a future for this neighborhood
is something that all of us at Goodman Acker are extremely proud to participate in.”
